MU is down roughly 4.5% today, with some heightened IV. I'm selling the $28.5 puts here for $.54, or about 1.89% ROC. This offers $2.25 theta in 24 days, possibly higher if we reach 50+% earlier. This play allows MU to drop around 5.5-6% before we're being tested. Same process, sell puts, assignment, sell calls.

This one is for a longer term approach. MSFT currently has a 2.10% divvy, according to FINVIZ. Selling the $70 put in September yielded $0.77 in credit, which is almost 1/2 of the yearly dividend that MFST gives out to start with. I will take this stock if the put expires in the money, giving me a basis of $69.23, which is about 5.5% below current price. If put...
Taking advantage of some high IV here. SMH currently has a 76 IVR, according to TW. I sold the Sept 15, $82 put for $1.12 credit. This 5.7% below the current price and offers a 1.36% ROC in 52 days. That's about $2.15 in theta decay a day, or possibly more per day if we squeeze out 50% in a shorter time frame. Same logic as always...get assigned, sell calls,...

High IV in AAPL here. I was wanting to sell well below the money before earnings and today's sell off gave up some good opportunities. Aug 18 $142 put for $1.31. I bought the 106 wing to just free up some BP, but I like the thought of owning some AAPL if I had to.
Sept 15 126/137 Put Spread @ $1.01. 2x Stop Loss, 50% Win mgmt. I have been buying the wings on some of these higher priced underlyings to help with some BPR.
